Welcome to our exceptional collection of African art, where each piece is carefully selected to represent the rich culture, deep history and vibrant aesthetic of this fascinating continent. Our collection spans the centuries, covering a wide range of periods and styles, from ancient works to contemporary creations. Each piece is a testament to Africa's artistic genius and its ability to inspire and move.
Ancient African sculptures: Ancient African sculptures are precious testimonies to past cultures and civilisations. Made from wood, bronze, terracotta or ivory, these sculptures often represent human, animal or spiritual figures, each embodying profound meanings and sacred stories. Dogon sculptures, Ifé bronze heads and Nok terracotta figures are emblematic examples of this rich and varied artistic tradition.
African masks: African masks are among the continent's most emblematic works of art. Used in rituals, ceremonies and theatrical performances, these masks are often adorned with geometric patterns, bright colours and symbolic details. Each mask, whether Dan, Fang or Bwa, tells a story and reflects the beliefs and traditions of its people of origin.
Tribal and Ethnographic Art: Our collection also includes a variety of tribal and ethnographic art, which offers a glimpse into the daily lives, rituals and traditions of various African ethnic groups. These include ritual objects such as command sticks, musical instruments, textiles and jewellery. These objects are not only aesthetically pleasing but also imbued with profound cultural meanings.
Statues and Figurines: African statues and figurines, whether small or monumental, capture the essence of African spiritual and social life. Representations of deities, ancestors and mythological figures are common, with each piece created with meticulous attention to detail and a keen sense of aesthetics. These works are often used in ritual contexts or as objects of veneration.
Contemporary African art: African art is not limited to traditional works. Our collection also includes contemporary works that reflect the evolution and innovation of African art. Modern and contemporary African artists explore a variety of media, including painting, sculpture, photography and installation, while drawing inspiration from their rich cultural heritage. These contemporary works testify to the vitality and diversity of African art today.
Textiles and Basketry: African textiles and basketry are important artistic expressions that combine functionality and beauty. From the kente fabrics of Ghana to the bogolan tapestries of Mali, each piece is made using traditional techniques handed down from generation to generation. Basketry, meanwhile, includes baskets and containers woven by hand with intricate patterns and natural materials.
Worship objects and ritual instruments: Cult objects and ritual instruments play a central role in African religious and spiritual practices. Our collection includes fetishes, reliquaries, drums and ceremonial musical instruments, each with a particular significance in rituals and ceremonies.
Jewellery and silverware: African jewellery is renowned for its beauty and symbolism. Made from gold, silver and copper, and adorned with pearls, precious stones and shells, this jewellery often carries social and spiritual significance. African necklaces, bracelets, earrings and pendants are works of art that add an extra dimension to cultural expression.
